"Zen is about an active life, an involved life.
When we know our minds well and the emotions that our thinking creates,
we tend to see better what our lives are about and what needs to be done,which is generally just the next task under our nose.
Zen is about a life of action, not a life of passively doing nothing.
But our action must be based in reality."
-Charlotte Joko Beck, Everyday Zen
